Yes, I think that the reason the patches don't support murder[*] is because not
many sites use murder. Or that sites that do use murder have already to deal
with many complexities that adding a mailbox creation is the least of their
problems.

It may be that it will never work well with that then. I can understand the
reasoning the patches are not included.

I think it should work with altnamespace too. From what I remember, the murder
architecture is the only thing that is incompatible with the patches, and maybe
replication now.


* Which I assume is the only incompatibility between the patches and the
current cyrus code.
